F#, I can target backend and frontend, using battle tested libraries. Static typing that gets out of my way and has very good domain modeling capabilities. Good enough tooling. Scala as a close second!

MS management seems like a wild place to me, but I only have experience with the OSS side. Between X amount of GUI frameworks, adding every feature under the sun, OSS controversies, quite unpredictable at times...

I think the community plays a more important role in what they want for F#. First there was a focus for Fable and targeting frontend, and now you can target Python and potentially use F# there instead of Python. But the community is interes

This could be very cool combined with something like Pulumi!

That thread is 4 years old...I wouldn't say that's reflective of the current situation, nor do I find "probably won't get better" a great take, because the Scala OSS situation tries to not-repeat-mistakes. Hell the

I think you can use `v` for that in Helix.

Helix( https://helix-editor.com/ ) and Kakoune( https://kakoune.org/ ) both have a keybindings that are discoverable through their UI. Helix has this small pop up that shows you the keys that you can chord and

SBT is a lot less scary these days IMHO.

Ah very true, I like types and all that jazz, I'm mostly looking for a nice developer experience and don't know that much about either platforms.

Ask HN: JDK 17 or .NET 6 for a greenfield project?

I personally like and use DaisyUI for such "components" type of things: https://daisyui.com/ Does its job, gets out of my and helpful docs as well.

Big fan of Helix and Kakoune-esque keybindings! I like that they have tree-sitter and LSP as first class citizens, both extremely nice. I hope they figure out the plugin system, but honestly, if they'd just add something like Telescope

As somebody who's in this exact same position(well not really corporate), I feel the same way about this guide. Thanks so much the author!

Check out: https://laminar.dev/ or https://github.com/PurpleKingdomGames/tyrian Event ho it's a React wrapper it's still a really good one: https://github.com/japgolly/sc

Love the org support in LogSeq! Probably the deciding factor why I chose it over Dendron(which is great as well). LogSeq also has experimental Android support: https://github.com/logseq/logseq/releases/tag&#x2

Last time I tried nimlsp was in June-ish, using neovim. It was an okay experience, but things broke down quickly when using macros and I got red squigglies everywhere because things rely on a certain setting. Compared to the VSCode experien

For me it's the intersection of performance like Rust, the readability like Python, the ability to generate native executables without dependencies like Go and a very cool type system. All while delivering fast compile speeds! The adop

With .NET and React in your toolbelt, you already got easy to deploy, powerful and job market. What else do you want? :P Could always try out F# if you think the grass is greener out there.

You might like Scala 3 starting off quickly with: https://scala-cli.virtuslab.org/ too (maybe!).

That's some great info, thank you!

And how has your experience with dotnet been?
53.
by sp33der89 5y ago
Yeah, I would love it if I could just write idiomatic code for the platform and it'd be just fast enough!

I've seen the posts about all the speedups each new version of .NET gets and I'm just wondering, was .NET just alright in performance before all this? Is that the reason they can get all these speedups? :P I'd be interested i

Oh, don't get me wrong, I definitely think dotnet is an advantage for F#, but when I learned F#, a lot of beginner resources didn't teach you how it dotnet works. I think it got easier from .NET Core 3 onwards tho.

F# is one of my favorite languages! I'd recommend to everybody to try to learn it. But I kind of don't like the .NET ecosystem, it seems constantly changing but also at the same time incredibly stable? I can't really explain

I've read that Clojure(Script) has a great REPL experience. Even when using VSCode, can one use the REPL easily?

So I'm not a fan of metaprogramming or heavy abuse of tricks for convenience either, and I do get and agree with your point! But for some anecdotal nuance concerning the React example: > Take React for example. It's an abstract

See my comment from the other reply on this question for potential solutions, but as an fyi for those curious, Nim does come with a VIM that comes in very handy for such purposes: https://nim-lang.org/docs/nims.html
